At Human Artist Photography we cover weddings in journalistic style. However, we do not think the wedding photography should be circumscribed by a certain genre. While Yevhen, our main photographer, is unobtrusive throughout the coverage of your wedding day, we believe there might also be a time for some casually posed portrait images of the wedding couple together.

Yes, we do take formal family portraits. After all, for many this is one of the rare opportunities at which the whole or most of the extended family gathers together. We encourage the couple to think of the groupings for the posed family images a few weeks before the wedding. Please remember that the signature of our coverage is photo-journalistic and a very long list of groupings might prevent from covering the event in a documentary fashion. We suggest that the list of groupings does not go beyond twelve (if possible).

Yes. The assistant photographer does everything from photographing to assisting with off camera lighting and more. Great results require additional gear, so having an assistant is critical to producing beautiful images. It is also good to see your ceremony from different angles. All of our wedding collections include an assistant photographer.

After we cull, color correct and edit the images, you get the selected high resolution files. We do retain the copyrights to the images and the right to use them for promotional purposes, professional review, blog and so on. If you wish, we are glad to provide a written release that will allow you to reproduce the images for your personal but not commercial use (prints for friends and families).

We deliver the finished product to our clients. Taking the image is only doing half of all the work. The raw files remain incomplete if they are unedited. You get finished images in high resolution format. Therefore no RAW files will be provided.

Yes. The weding books are included in all of our wedding collections. The book is a very important part of our service. We design and process the albums with high standards to ensure you get your memories preserved for generations. Your album will be in a form of a modern book, where the images are printed directly on the pages like in a coffee table book you’d buy in a store.

We strongly encourage the engagement photo sessions. In fact, we include them in most of our packages. At Human Artist Photography we try to make our engagement sessions as fun as we can. This is also the time when we learn how to work with each other: you see how the photographer gives directions, learn about tips and tricks on what makes a better photo. Think of it as a rehearsal before your wedding day portraits. In the end, you get beautiful casual images of you and your fiance. Those you can use for “save the date” cards, wedding invitations, guest signature book, wedding web site, or simply print and hang the artwork above the fireplace in your home.

As soon as possible. Since we cannot hold the date and operate on first come/first serve basis, dates are booked when they are booked. Most of our commissions contract us within a year of the wedding date. Some weddings are booked as close as a month prior, and some a full calendar year or even more in advance.

It would be very lovely if you did. Feeding us ensures we stay cheerful and don’t faint from starvation – after all, we work for ten plus hours. We want to be fed when you are fed, not afterwards, because when you are done eating all the moments that we would like to photograph start happening.
